Match Preview

Trafford MV 1st XV make the short journey to Audenshaw to play Aldwinians this Saturday and expect to have a strong team out and also a team full of confidence having won 3 games on the bounce now. Aldwinians will no doubt have their say on matters having won their last 3 games also. MV will look to continue their gradual climb up the table which has now taken them into 10th place following the points deduction against Littleborough. With the grounds getting that bit heavier we will notice a change in some teams form as conditions suit some teams more than others.

MV's 2nd XV are at home with Preston Grasshoppers as the visitors whilst the 3rd XV visit close neighbours Altrincham Kersal.

o Will always have fond memories of playing there as its the first time I'm aware of a game having a delayed kick off whilst they cleared sheep off the pitch!! although to be fair I haven't played in Wales much

This was one of the weeks put to the senior players previously as potential for assistance so if you want some help with any particular area please get in touch with Pat Eccles - as noted by all who have had help from the seniors this season it has been a great success and is highly recommended. Having witnessed it many a time first hand I can personally vouch for a valuable lesson from Lord Junior on the perfect (looking) kick (that may go anywhere, except into touch).

Reminder, please send a note out to all the parents to bring a change of clothes and take the kids into the clubhouse through the changing rooms and not through the glazed screen or front entrance. Many thanks.

Have a great weekend everyone !
